HI @aces79 . Welcome to Psych Central. I am sorry your daughter is facing so many challenges. Unfortunately the insurance and mental health care system respond to crisis not to preventing crisis. Anyone can do inpatient private pay but I think it is $1000's of dollars a day and beyond the reach of most budgets.
To get insurance to pay usually involves when someone is a risk to themselves or others. Working with their mental healthcare person is usually the best way to determine the route to take. As much as we all would love to advise you, it is more than other peers can do. This takes a mental health professional.
