S.A. programs do not require severe mental health issues.

Bottom line - he won't willingly go to treatment of any kind. He even terminated his relationship with his therapist last night. Given those circumstances, no Residential Treatment Center (RTC) of any kind - S.A., general psychiatric, whatever - will take him against his will.
