If you have any doubts then please follow your heart for you're own sanity. Your exbf needs to learn how to be strong on his own. You still haven't dealt with what have happened within the relationship you've had with him so allow yourself to heal before you can his rock. Take care of yourself and be strong for yourself. He needs professional help and he's getting it for himself. He has his family to be his rock so please don't feel you have any responsibility to stand by his side. What you can do is to have caring and respectful conversation with him and tell him how you feel and you wish him well but you need to care and heal for yourself first so that you give yourself time to truly learn from this situation. Maybe after when he's done with rehab and healthy again you can try to be friends but right its is drugs that is running his life and you dont need that in your life.

Well he ended up texting me and I called him. This has been going on for a couple of days, (we broke up a week and half ago). Well we had a long talk last night and he says he is going to rehab again, and he is going for himself this time. He is going to go for the full time instead of just a week, and do the whole thing. He also was very honest with me and told me everything about his drug problems. He asked me if I would be his friend during this time of his life to help him get through this, of course we both have hopes of working through this and being together again.
I'm really torn about this, because I want to believe that he is going to get better, and I do want to be there for him because I love him and care for him. But at the same time I don't want to get myself into a sticky situation and get hurt again if he starts using again. It is going to be hard for me to transition from girlfriend to "friend". If you have any suggestions please let me know!!!
