Committed?
Once I was 'four party petitioned' into drug rehab by my mom, the ER doc, the police, and my girlfriend at the time. Believe it or not it was one of the best experiences of my life even though I didn't get truly sober for another 5 years. I learned a lot. I've admitted myself to hospitals twice because I'd had enough. Once at age 17, and again 5 years later. I was fortunate to find great comfort there and some relief too.
I think its pretty hard to commit someone to an asylum these days. It looks like you have the resources and enough sanity to avoid that anyways. On the other hand...Don't be shy about admitting yourself if ever needed (to a private hospital). Its like a vacation, and everybody is focused on helping you.
