Persons in Lester with HIV/AIDS may possibly find themselves in need of alcohol and drug abuse treatment. It is important that the alcohol and drug treatment facility of choice is one which recognizes the challenges involved in treating clients affected by these diseases so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehab. Once any physical obstacles have been conquered, as is often the case with addicted persons who have not taken care of themselves, individuals with HIV/AIDS in treatment will address all of the mental and emotional issues involved in their drug addiction. The end result will be an individual who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and possibly add many years to their life.
