Freedom-of-choice systems have experienced some common problems with patient care re-sulting in many agencies choosing not to develop treatment options for severe mental disor-ders because they disagree with the premise of freedom of choice. Both the provider and the patient have the freedom to make decisions; however, treatment providers in these systems have the right to refuse to treat anyone whose symptoms make that person resistant to accept treatment. The remaining options are not considered as criteria for treatment termination re-garding freedom of choice.
