gosh i wish i had some good suggestions for you all but in all honesty if he is still in denial there's little else you can do. you did a really good thing by committing him for help. now they're releasing him...was this a state hospital? rather than a private one? regrettably if it was state funded many times they "slap a bandaid on it" and send the patient home. hopefully others who post will have some other slant to this dilemma. please keep us posted and we're always here to support you. your love for your uncle shines  . he is fortunate that you all love him so but regrettably most people addicted don't recover tho the percentage has risen in favor of recovery recently. i will pray for all of you including your dear uncle.
