Jim,
Decades ago, I was around some of this type of involuntary committment with a family member. Not pretty stuff and I recall visiting at least two or three "facilities" of the state. They made the place in "Cuckoos Nest" seem like summer camp. F#*K!n scary stuff. So help me, I'll never forget that stuff as long as I live. And I was just a visitor in the areas they let visitors. So, I believe it's possible it would be tolerated.
