Persons in Johannesburg with HIV/AIDS might find themselves in need of alcohol and drug abuse rehab. It is important that the drug rehab facility of choice is one that understands the difficulties involved in treating clients affected by these ailments so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehabilitation. As soon as any physical challenges have been overcome, as is common 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 issues involved in their addiction. The end result will be an individual who can properly care for themselves physically and in life, and possibly add many years to their lives.
