Civil commitment (involuntary hospitalization) is a thing. It has legal grounds, even.
Yeah, you might think that it only covers shit like dementias and severe psychoses like schizophrenia, but there's precedent that eating disorders could be covered.
See this article from 2000: While inpatient treatment doesn't work for everybody, people who are forced into treatment have at least similar (with hesitation to say the same, as sample sizes are a bit small) responses as those who voluntarily go. Mom is fucked up herself, so it's unlikely, but any of the poor suckers Ash has tricked into being her friend should lawyer up, get a court order and have a cop wear her as a backpack and march into a hospital.
