Persons in Northampton with HIV/AIDS might find that they are in need of drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation. It is essential that the drug rehab program of choice is one that understands the challenges involved in assisting clients afflicted by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehab. Once any physical challenges have been conquered, as is common with alcohol or drug addicted persons who have not properly cared for their health, individuals with HIV/AIDS in rehab will be able to overcome the psychological and emotional issues involved in their drug or alcohol addiction. The ultimate prize will be someone who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and possibly add many years to their life.
