In the US state I live in, going to the ER for suicidal thoughts or actions leads to involuntary commitment for at least a few days. It is the same as going to the hospital but you don't get to pick which one. Beds are scarce and they just keep you in the ER until one opens. Near my location, there is a crisis assessment center that is part of a preferred hospital system I would go to first.
