Persons in Boys Town with HIV/AIDS may find themselves in need of alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation. It is important that the drug and alcohol treatment program of choice is one that understands the challenges involved in assisting clients stricken with these ailments so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehab. Once any physical challenges have been conquered, as is often the case with alcohol or drug addicted individuals who have not taken care of themselves, persons with HIV/AIDS in rehabilitation will address all of the psychological and emotional problems concerning their drug addiction. The end result will be an individual who can properly care for themselves both body and mind, and quite possibly add many years to their life.
