Persons in Wamego with HIV/AIDS may find themselves in need of substance abuse treatment. It is essential that the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center of choice is an option which recognizes the challenges involved in helping clients affected by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehabilitation. Once any physical obstacles have been overcome, as is often the case with drug or alcohol addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, individuals with HIV/AIDS in rehab will be able to overcome the mental and emotional problems involved in their addiction. The ultimate prize will be someone who can properly care for themselves physically and in life, and possibly add several years to their life.
