Enabling is a pretty tricky thing. Loved ones are convinced away from doing the sorts of things that feel natural - helping - and convinced that tough love is the only kind of love that is going to work. And it's all true, enabling doesn't help us get better, but when we are finally ready to get some treatment, helping us get that treatment is not enabling it is just helping. It feels right because it is right.

Rehab is a business, and it's big business, and as unfortunate as it may be, those without money wait a lot longer for care; and too often never do get into treatment, deterred either by unreasonable waiting times or by a simple lack of access.
