Tackling Dummies

28 year-old nephew, has had some addiction (oxy/painkiller) issues the past several years. He recently went to rehab, was clean, met a girl who was a user, backslid. He's an electrician's "helper" and is close to being licensed. No arrests. He wants to move away (about 800 miles) from his circle of friends and get a new start. We spent a ton of time together when he was growing up, have a solid relationship and WE moved away about 10 years ago. He's stayed with other family members at one time or the other, so we are close to the last ones. He contacted us through his mom yesterday w/ this request and we will contact him shortly.
We live in the suburbs, good local economy, very low crime, yadda yadda. Mrs TD, me and a few pugs.
We're open to having him stay temporarily (12-18 months?) with the goal of him on his own.
Have some issues that we are trying to wrap our heads around and wanted to get some feedback about what we might or could be expecting. IF we go forward, we're working on a list and he'll need to agree to the terms. Zero tolerance, one and done.
Thanks and fire away.
