My best friend currently is not able to take any of her medication because she is uninsured. I've been doing what I can while not putting myself at risk for being blamed if anything happens to her. She needs help. but her family is poor and they live in a small town. There isn't much there in terms of help. I'm worried about her, she needs help. Professional help. Does anyone have an idea of what I could do?

first off, what kind of medication is it? if they can't afford to pay out of pocket they should be able to get discounts via the state you should tell her to look into that

I plan on telling her some places she can go to, she is at the point where she needs to be at a place where they can be there for her 24/7, at least for a few weeks. I talked to a friend of mine and if she won't go alone we are going to take her(if she wants the help of course). Just putting her back on the medication she was already taking isn't going to help her at this point, she needs to be re-diagnosed. I am doing what I can while keeping myself in a spot where I am not going to be blamed for anything, if anything does happen. I am currently a college student who wants to go into the mental health field, so I am able to suggest some things for her and keep myself at a safe distance. She has a mess of problems, she felt like crap on the meds, but without them she is worse. Which tells me she needs to get different medication and real help. She is flat broke, but if she goes to the hospital they have to at least do something for her.

they can't deny her help if she needs it, it's the law if you really think she's in danger you need to just take her to get help

Well since she is an hour away. I can't just get up and leave. Plus I want to talk to her about it first, so she doesn't feel overwhelmed. Last time something like this happened she was able to tell people she needed help. So i am going to see if she will do it again. She has a lot of friends supporting her, so right now I'm not all too worried, I check in with her everyday and if she gets upset she knows to message me. I want to see how things go, it could easily just be stress because she has so much going on. If she is any worse then I will have her go to the hospital or at least talk to her mother and make her understand she needs help.
