Probably take them to a hospital
Hospital is good if they've taken action towards suicide (eg. tried to overdose, or jumped but survived), but it's terrible for someone who just backed out. Imagine you've just gone through pretty much the worst experience possible, then you have to put up with the noise and business of ED.
Unless he is actively suicidal this is not the answer and can make things worse
