Doing Partial Hospitalization while working

Question

Hi all! So, things the past month have been dire. So dire, in fact, that I am seriously contemplating entering a mental health facility. The one near me has really good reviews and has a PHP with housing, though the first month acts as more of a residential program.

Only issue is, I won't be able to work. Even if I opted to not stay at the housing facility, the sessions are on 3 of the 5 days I work, meaning my income gets slashed severely. I have credit card bills and utilities and all that to pay, and I wouldn't be able to afford them.

Guess my question is: is there a solution to this? Is it worth dealing with whatever financial issues I enter (the program will be at least two months) just for the chance of getting better?
