Advice needed

This may be a long one but I need some advice and support.
I had a baby 6 weeks ago. My partner is a recovering alcoholic and last week had a relapse. He is also a type 1 diabetic and last week after the relapse took an insulin overdose. Me and DD have gone to stay with my mum and I didn't want her around this as it isn't fair on her.
He came out of hospital after one day and unfortunately went straight back to drinking. He's not someone that can't cope without alcohol he has gone months and years without it but this time he saw me going as leaving him so went straight back to it.
Today I went back the our home to make sure he was okay and he kicked off that I was in the house, picked up a bread knife and slit his wrist pretty bad- I called an ambulance- waited an hour for it to arrive but as he was drunk and had already done an overdose of insulin before I got there wasn't nice at all with the staff and the left (which I completely understand and told them this, they couldn't have been nicer and I was in tears to them with the way her acted). I called his parents after he kicked me out of the house and they came around and managed to get him to agree to go to hospital.
My question really is is there any chance they will section him? I feel it's the only thing that will actually help right now. He has said he wants sectioning but if he would agree when actually in hospital I'm not sure.
