Check with the state.  I don't know what state you are in, but in Texas their is DARS department that is a state service and I know here in Texas that they focus alot on Bipolar treatment and care.  I think DARS stands for Disability and Rehabilitating services.  I know that in some cases you can get disability and even Medicare to help with expenses for the care and medications.  My daughter works for the DARS services in Texas.
