Persons in Sharples with HIV/AIDS may find that they are in need of alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation. It is essential that the alcohol and drug rehab facility of choice is an option which recognizes the difficulties involved in helping clients stricken with these diseases so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehabilitation. As soon as any physical obstacles have been conquered, as is often the case with addicted persons who have not taken care of themselves, persons with HIV/AIDS in rehab will be able to overcome the psychological and emotional issues concerning their drug addiction. The end result will be someone who can properly care for themselves physically and in life, and perhaps add many years to their lives.
