Default ecstasy / marijuana use & addiction?

My fiance is currently in county jail waiting sentence for a distribution charge. He has been there for three months and was placed in a drug rehabilitation program where he has done very well. This is his first felony, first drug charge, etc. He is 21. He started using drugs about 4 years ago. He has been smoking marijuana for the past four years consistently and using ecstasy occasionally. I am hoping to bail him out in a few days so he can be home for the holidays. I am a little worried because I feel like this will be the first time he will be exposed to the opportunity to use drugs. I know that there are drugs available in jails and prisons and he has told me that he had the opportunity to use drugs while he was in jail but didn't, but for some reason I feel like you are forced to be sober in jail.

Either way, I was wondering if there was somebody with a similar situation. Many people on here have a loved one who is using heroin, crack, meth, etc. My situation is a bit different because my fiance never touched those drugs.

I have been told to go to Nar-Anon meetings. What are they like and what can they do for me? Is there anything else I can do to help support my fiance? I know there's only so much I can do, but I'd like to do whatever I can for him.

Try to see if there is NA/AA in the county jail. That is the best support for them.

They will have to get into some kind of program. Without the county name, I cannot do further research into the issue.
