Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bridgeport, NY.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
