Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Whitewood, SD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
