Individuals in Parrish with HIV/AIDS may possibly find that they are in need of alcohol and drug abuse treatment. It is essential that the drug and alcohol rehabilitation program of choice is one which recognizes the challenges involved in helping clients affected by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehabilitation. As soon as any physical obstacles have been overcome, as is common with drug or alcohol addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, persons with HIV/AIDS in treatment will address all of the psychological and emotional troubles involved in their addiction. The ultimate prize will be someone who can properly care for themselves physically and in life, and possibly add quite a few years to their life.
