Getting back into a bad situation

My bf just got a new job at a type of place we both have worked before.  Which is where our troubles began.  Drugs are plentiful and very easy access.  He's been off of methadone for a couple months and I'm almost off down to 8mg.  I'm just worried if he starts bringing stuff home it will be hard to resist.  He's already talking about, well maybe we could do oxy just one day a week.  I know it's not a once a week drug, it's an everyday leading back to herion drug.  I don't know what to do.  He needs the job and it's close to home, he's driving an hour to and from work now on a suspended license and with winter coming it's just not a good situation.  Any advise is appreciated and welcomed.  Thanks!

As additcts this is a very bad idea! Do y'all go to NA or AA? NOW. May be time to start. There is no happy ending in this if he starts again! YOU stay strong and tell him no!
