One of the problems you had, most likely, was being a PA resident going to NJ for treatment.
If you were to go to a hospital in your home county you can receive treatment, regardless of your ability to pay (actually any inpatient facility that refuses to treat on the basis of ability to pay risks hefty fines and losing the ability to accept ALL MEDICARE PAYMENTS), and the hospital would start a medical assistance application for you. Ditto for outpatient treatment. There is also county funding available for mental health care ... and whoo hoo ... it's the beginning of the year so there is lots of money left in the pot.
