I would highly recommend an outpatient intensive program. Look specifically for those words. They are generally run by psychotherapists who will look beyond the alcoholism into the psychological issues that are exacerabting it. These programs are less expensive than inpatient, but work just as well if she can handle the not drinking on her own. They are not AA based so there usually won't be talk of God.
Generally only those programs that are state or federally funded will offer a sliding fee scale for the uninsured, but that only helps if you have no $ coming in at all. But, the investment in her health and wellbeing should be worth it.
