In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.
