Persons who have HIV/AIDS and are also alcohol and/or drug addicted will most definitely experience serious consequences unless they search for and receive the treatment services they need from an effective Framingham drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. Being stricken with HIV/AIDS can very often be a sure death sentence but misusing alcohol and/or drugs while stricken with these types of diseases hastens the progression of them and makes the drugs used to keep them from progressing nearly ineffective. This is why proven alcohol and drug rehab programs in Framingham which acknowledge the many physical issues involved when helping clients with HIV/AIDS is the only hope for such persons who are also struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. Persons who have HIV/AIDS can prolong their lives and hopefully live out the remainder of their lives completely if they take the opportunity to avail themselves of the powerful rehabilitation that is available.
