Persons in Mellen with HIV/AIDS might find themselves in need of substance abuse rehabilitation. It is essential that the drug rehab program of choice is an option which recognizes the challenges involved in helping clients afflicted by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehab. As soon as any physical hurdles have been conquered, as is often the case with alcohol or drug addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, clients with HIV/AIDS in rehab will address all of the psychological and emotional troubles involved in their drug or alcohol addiction. The end result will be someone who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and quite possibly add many years to their life.
