Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Alcoholism

My daughter is a 34 year old practicing alcoholic. She has been hospitalized with pancreatitis, and told she will die within a year and a half if she does not stop drinking. Can I have her committed to a rehab facility by a court as she will not consent on her own. She is a danger to herself and her son.What are my options? Please help.
