Drug addiction is an equal opportunity killer. Find a good rehab and don’t worry if it is “christian” or not. He wasn’t living by religious rules before and sobriety is the only thing that he needs now. I know…I have been in recovery for over 15 yrs and am Jewish.

Salvation Army has a recovery program. Also the patient can work for the cost of treatment at the rehab, so it’s what you are looking for I think. I know there is one in Seattle, not sure where else. Maybe look up Salvation Army in your area and ask.
Salvation Army is christian based, but they don’t turn away nonchristians.
