I had a friend who was essentially committed against her will. She was never grabbed violently or thrown into a van. She was calmly told they would be committing her, then asked to strip and change into a gown, told to take the medication or it would be administered forcefully, etc... You have a very "Hollywood" idea of how this stuff happens. Reality is a lot more insidious.

No idea what your friend went through, but that's not what this program does. The people in these programs can't commit anyone, or take them anywhere they don't want to go. The service works much much better that way because when the van rolls up, there is no fight or flee reaction.
