To the best of my knowledge, Medicaid will not pay for a psych hospital stay.

Have you checked out http://www.psychlaws.org ?

If you are in a state of mind where you can even make this decision, go to a general hospital and accept their care. There is a difference between psych hospitals and "regular hospitals (I know you know this, toe, I'm just pointing it out for everyone's benefit). The quality of psych treatment may not be as good, but if you've already decided which meds you will take and which ones you won't, it sounds like all you need is someone with a prescription pad. I think this is your best bet to get it paid for and get stabilized on meds.

Whatever hospital you go to or get taken to, explain the problem, and let them shuffle you wherever you can get the most treatment with the most coverage.

If you have a disease where the potential end result is suicide or psychosis, then you have to get this done even if it's not where you'd ideally like to go.
