Individuals in Chico, California with HIV/AIDS might find themselves in need of drug and alcohol abuse treatment. It is essential that the alcohol and drug treatment program of choice is one that understands the challenges involved in assisting clients affected by these illnesses so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehab. Once any physical hurdles have been overcome, as is common with alcohol or drug addicted persons who have not properly cared for their health, clients with HIV/AIDS in rehab will address all of the psychological and emotional problems concerning their addiction. The end result will be an individual who can properly care for themselves both body and mind, and perhaps add quite a few years to their life.
