Persons in D Hanis with HIV/AIDS may possibly find that they are in need of substance abuse rehab. It is essential that the drug and alcohol rehabilitation program of choice is one that understands the difficulties involved in assisting clients stricken with these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehabilitation. Once any physical hurdles have been overcome, as is often the case with alcohol or drug addicted individuals who have not properly cared for their health, individuals with HIV/AIDS in treatment will be able to overcome the mental and emotional problems involved in their addiction. The ultimate prize will be an individual who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and possibly add several years to their lives.
