That is a very reasonable concern! It's one reason why I'm opposed to involuntary treatment in general, but I'd rather a person with addiction who has committed a crime against another be placed in a supportive mental health setting rather than what we've allowed our jails and prisons to become.
The problem I foresee is that commitment will be weaponized against people that aren't this.
