Oh pam, that sounds really hard. I know you must want to help him, but you have to make sure you are helping yourself first. Man, what a terrible position. I am guessing he doesn't have any family to stay with? And the hospital knew he didn't have anywhere to live when they released him? Is there some other sort of half-way house, inpatient facility that may let him live there? We have a community counseling inpatient facility here that is state sponsored and you can stay there for drug or alcohol abuse and for mental illnesses. I'm not sure if they have anything like that where you live, but maybe that's an option.

Hugs to you. Sorry this is going on right now. But your friend is lucky to at least have you to care about him.
