[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 598419, member: 84"] County Mental Health is often a good place to start to look for services for someone without insurance. If they don't provide such services themselves (rare), they usually have a good idea who does. These are services that fees are based on income, so that even someone with very little income or no income can seek out services. They can also just call around to docs and ask if they have an income rate for folks without insurance. You'll be surprised that many actually do. My old psychiatrist did...... no insurance = 10.00 visit fee.......he could care less your income as he assumed it wasn't that great if you had no insurance. He also bent over backward to get you the scripts you needed. If he couldn't script something from the 4.00 lists of pharmacies......he would try to keep you in supply of free samples. There is also usually a low cost state run prescription program. I forget how to find it now. But the hospital actually signed Fred up for it. (it's not just for mental health) It was to help him to pay for the heart medications that were outrageously priced. We still paid some but it was no where what we'd normally pay out. You could probably do an internet search for your state and find the program that way. Keeping difficult child 1 in my prayers that he does well at ex's and comes back the same as he left so he can continue to do better. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
