Individuals in Escobares with HIV/AIDS may possibly find themselves in need of drug and alcohol abuse treatment. It is essential that the drug and alcohol rehabilitation program of choice is an option which recognizes the difficulties involved in helping clients afflicted by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehab. As soon as any physical challenges have been conquered, as is common with alcohol or drug addicted persons who have not taken care of their health, persons with HIV/AIDS in rehabilitation will be able to overcome the psychological and emotional troubles concerning their drug or alcohol addiction. The ultimate prize will be someone who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and perhaps add several years to their lives.
