My loved one is financially struggling and doesn't have insurance - where can he or she be treated?
Your loved one can be treated at any Community Mental Health Center. Typically, fees are determined on a sliding scale based on personal income and medical expenses. Referrals to community mental health centers can be attained from any of the organizations mentioned in the first question (How do I find treatment for my loved one suffering from a mental illness?) If your loved one does not have insurance, he or she may be eligible for Medi-Cal. Contact the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services at (877)597-4777 for more information.
