Persons in Amonate with HIV/AIDS may find themselves in need of substance abuse rehabilitation. It is crucial that the drug rehabilitation program of choice is one that understands the challenges involved in assisting clients afflicted by these diseases so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehabilitation. Once any physical obstacles have been overcome, as is common with alcohol or drug addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, clients with HIV/AIDS in rehabilitation will address all of the psychological and emotional troubles concerning their drug addiction. The end result will be someone who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and possibly add quite a few years to their lives.
