Medicaid I believe only looks at your income, so he should be able to qualify. In my state Medicaid pays for 100% of all medical AND mental health costs with no deductible and no co-pay (pretty awesome, only downside is it doesn’t cover dental). So he should get it for no other reason than at least for medical coverage

You can sell the idea of formal outpatient treatment with the zero cost after he gets Medicaid. Doesn’t cost anything but a tiny bit of his time. A lot of places are doing telehealth over zoom, so if he wants to stay at home and not have to go somewhere (this can matter to people too poor to have transport or alcoholics that worry about DUI’s), he probably can

I wouldn’t tell him this because sobriety is the best thing for him, but counselors will even see him if he’s a little drunk. I think it’s silly, but most counselors will do it on a case by case basis depending on just how drunk the person is (super drunk and they ask them to be sober)
