Wow, good news. If he was trying to get away from old influences as a part of drug rehab then he's got alot of smarts. It seems like the biggest impediment in a full recovery is being around old "friends" (they aren't) and access to the problem.
We're all with you in this and even though it would have been nice if he would have communicated with you his intentions, the good news is that you now have some news.
