I am assuming you mean "Can I move/leave rehab without their releasing me".
If you admitted yourself as a competent person in need of care, and have decided you no longer need this care you will notify the social worker/discharge planner in your facility that you wish to leave and you will give your reasons.
This person will then check with your care team and your doctor in facility to make certain you are fully capable and/or have a good support system in your own home, that you have followup after discharge to make certain you are thriving.

If they decide you are not well enough to leave OR do not have sufficient support system they can refuse discharge. If you are COMPETENT mentally you can say you wish to sign papers AMA meaning you wish to leave "against medical advice"; this releases them from responsibility.
They will then in no way assist your discharge; you will be on your own. Are you certain you are ready for that OR have a good support system, Frogger?

Can you tell us more about your admission to rehab and how you are doing?

Alvadeer, you're on fire today!! LOL

Hopefully, there is a decent SW at the facility the OP is at.

The one I was, eh, not so much. In fact they've put up a help wanted for a new one. (which would be their 3 ). The former one, was not much of a people person, (residents tended to annoy him). That, and the fact he didn't do proper discharge, were probably 2 of the reasons he is leaving/has left.

In fact, there must be some type of turmoil there, because it appears they're "cleaning house" as far as many in the administration are concerned.
