Could my doctor commit me to a mental hospital if I refuse to get therapy?

Anonymous

A little over a month ago I took 15 benadryl. Not because I wanted to kill myself, but because my job won't let me smoke Marijuana, and I just wanted to get high. Thats what I told the e. r. staff and my doctor I know it taking the benadryl was stupid, and no one should ever do it. Anyways, I started tripping out and seeing things that weren't there and my mom took me to the e. r.. I went to see my doctor almost a month ago because jaw was popping and it hurt. She found out what happend and why I went to the e. r. and she wants me to see a therapist. In order to do that I will have to go to this mental health facility early in the morning and get an assessment to see a therapist. Well I have really bad social anxiety and don't want to do that. I'll be seeing my doctor on the 7th regarding mental health. I told her I would see a therapist. Someone told me she could make me go to a mental hospita if I refuse treatment. Can she really do that?
