Persons in Altadena with HIV/AIDS may find themselves in need of substance abuse rehab. It is essential that the alcohol and drug rehab facility of choice is an option which recognizes the difficulties involved in treating clients affected by these diseases so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehab. As soon as any physical obstacles have been conquered, as is often the case with addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, clients with HIV/AIDS in treatment will address all of the mental and emotional problems concerning their drug addiction. The end result will be an individual who can properly care for themselves physically and in life, and perhaps add quite a few years to their life.
