The places they recommend are walmart mental health facilities, to even get the meds there we would have to see a therapist that most likely has no idea what they are doing. The last counselor there literally told him she will have to pretend she knows more than him about psychology. I have to do the actual footwork myself and not much has come of it

medicaid insurance doesnt find a person treatment providers here in the USA. here you receive a booklet that tells you a list of treatment providers that are accepting your insurance plan. then you call those treatment providers your self and arrange to see someone on that list...

if you cant find your medicaid membership booklet contact your caseworker. your caseworker can send you another one or you can go in to their office and pick one up from the receptionist or in the lobby on the lobby information tables/bulletin\magazine racks. or any Social security \human services \welfare office will also have them free of charge.
