There are a few issues with your statements. The first being that the staff of this program have no incentive to "commit you against your will". Why would they do that? I work in healthcare and have met people that work in these types of programs. By and large they do it because they care, the stress and risk you get from working with these populations isn't worth the money. I work in Canada, so perhaps it's different in your country, but to be commited to a mental health facility here, a trained physician needs to "form" you, basically sign forms stating that you are a danger to society if not treated. There are strict laws surrounding this, it's not just some random decision. Lastly, you say this will lead to some "medical authoritarianism". Programs like these, as well as the ability to commit people to mental health facilities has been around forever, yet I see no evidence of this medical authoritarianism you speak of.
