Persons in Greenland with HIV/AIDS may find themselves in need of substance abuse rehabilitation. It is essential that the alcohol and drug rehab facility of choice is an option which recognizes the challenges involved in assisting clientele stricken with these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehabilitation. As soon as any physical challenges have been overcome, as is common with addicted persons who have not taken care of their health, clients with HIV/AIDS in rehabilitation will be able to overcome the mental and emotional problems involved in their drug or alcohol addiction. The end result will be someone who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and quite possibly add many years to their life.
