Persons with HIV/AIDS and who are also drug or alcohol addicted will ultimately face dire consequences unless they search for and receive the treatment they must have from an effective Shamokin drug and alcohol rehab facility. Being stricken with HIV/AIDS can sometimes be a guaranteed death sentence but abusing alcohol and/or drugs while stricken with these types of diseases hastens the progression of them and can make the medicines used to keep them from progressing nearly ineffective. For this reason proven drug treatment programs in Shamokin which understand the physical issues which have to be dealt while rehabbing persons with HIV/AIDS is the only chance for such people that also struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. People who have HIV/AIDS can extend their lives and hopefully live out the remainder of their lives completely if they take advantage of the powerful treatment that is readily obtainable.
