You’ll have to have law enforcement step in. She’ll be arrested and put on Prop 36 by the courts, where she’ll be mandated to attend classes and rehab.
Otherwise she can’t be put in a program against her will.
What you wrote “is a danger to herself and others” is the criteria for meeting a 5150 (72 hour psych hold). Drugs cannot be weighed there. If drugs are involved, it would be an arrest with a 5150 hold at the jail if shes suicidal.
Either way, it ends up being a criminal matter for the courts to help out with.
