[quote=Anonymous]OP 10 K for just the intervention sounds extremely high. It will not work if she isn’t interested. He’s just giving money to a company.

The bigger issue is that you and he need to sit down and plan out your finances. Do you have kids? Do you want them to go to college? Do you have emergency saving? Are you putting enough into retirement? Write down all the future expenses that you need to save for as well as your annual expenses. It sounds like your DH is emotional not logical.

Get a budget together and then show him how much discretionary income is free. Show him what sacrifices need to be made.

Next show him what private pay bailing out sister will cost. It’s not just the rehab but look up how many times the average addict needs to attend and multiple it by that number. Show him what taking on her rent, medical insurance, food and utilities, phone, streaming service, car payments will cost your family because I guarantee that is next. His sister will be a money pit and black hole that will destroy your family’s finances.

Either he realizes this after looking at the data or if still wants to sacrifice you and the kids for her, divorce him. Be clear that his choice is you and the kids or her.[/quote]
