Persons in Vincent with HIV/AIDS may find themselves in need of alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation. It is crucial that the alcohol and drug rehab program of choice is one which recognizes the difficulties involved in helping clients afflicted by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehabilitation. Once any physical hurdles have been overcome, as is often the case with drug or alcohol addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, individuals with HIV/AIDS in rehab will be able to overcome the mental and emotional issues involved in their addiction. The ultimate prize will be an individual who can properly care for themselves both body and mind, and perhaps add many years to their lives.
