I was admitted "voluntarily", and it wasn't a whole lot better. I went willingly, and then when I started having second thoughts they basically told me to either sign the consent form or they'd do things the hard way. I didn't face any direct abuse, but the whole framework was organized around achieving compliance, not remission. Some people working there seemed to actually care, but they also had no actual power to improve things.

It's not a great situation to be in, and I absolutely would lie to a mental health professional to avoid going through it again.
