Check out the FREED Foundation- they have some scholarships.  Also, call the treatment centers direct.  I got a partial scholarship at the Renfrew Center when I was in college because insurance wouldn't pay.  Other places might have them as well.

Option B is to appeal the Medicaid denial- I'm guessing you've tried, but it's always worth another shot.

There are a few free options out there.

 Check out NYSPI- Columbia Medical Research ED Facility (Acute Inpatient): http://www.eatingdisordersclinic.org/

Also, try Mercy Ministries (Free Christian Long-Term Residential): http://www.mercyministries.com
