There are outpatient walk in clinics where a person can recieve immediate mental health counseling and treatment. It would be best to have someone else support you to encourage her to seek help in a supportive manner that it will help her with her recovery because it will.

my step mum has been to the hospital before and all they do is give her pills to calm her down then send her home they don't think she needs any further help but she dose she needs help with thoughts in her head that she can't get rid of she would like to think that my father was faithfull but she just can't make herself think that she can be told all the time but she gets told so often that it tens to go in one ear and out the other she needs to be put on the right medication that will stop her from being paranoid

I'm not sure what medication they gave her but obviously if its a minor anti-anxiety medication taken short term given what is going on that would probably be the wrong medication. Discuss this with a psychiatrist next time. Any appropriate medication such as a mood stabilizer or antipsychotic is taken long term and helps stabilize a person not just calm them but a psychiatrist properly informed on what is wrong in her life could make a conclusive decision. Try an outpatient clinic first and discuss it over with them.
