You should only talk frankly with your husband when he is awake, should not mention while not sober because at this time the husband can judge, analyze right and wrong as well as master the behavior, not dangerous to the life of you and those around you.

You should encourage your husband to go to rehab so that he cultivates business, stay away from sin, integrate with the community. Mention the harms of drug use such as health effects, economic exhaustion, risk of HIV/AIDS infection.
