My lifelong goal is to become a truck driver.

I failed nursing school in 2019.

Had an apartment, car and everything was fine then I was just spending months getting drunk and lost everything.

I spent months in treatment afterward, and during that time I was heavily medicated and not myself.

I have never committed any crimes or been in any accidents.

In December I received about $21,000 in insurance checks. Blue Cross Blue Shield has sent me smaller amounts (around $500) before and told me I could keep them, so I assumed the same applied here. I spent the full amount over the following six months.

I later learned the money was related to a treatment facility in Arizona. They contacted me several times. I ignored most of the calls but did send them $1,500 once. They are now demanding the full remaining amount (approximately $20,000). I did not realize the money had to be returned and had already used it for other expenses.

The facility is pursuing the matter in court. According to my ex, there is an active arrest warrant for me in Arizona, and authorities periodically check her address looking for me (about once every three months). I have since moved to California and have not updated my ID, so it still shows my old Arizona address. I have no social media presence.

I am scared of going to prison and want to know what steps I should take?

Which legal steps should I take?
