Individuals in Lagunitas with HIV/AIDS may find that they are in need of alcohol and drug abuse treatment. It is important that the alcohol and drug treatment program of choice is an option which recognizes the difficulties involved in treating clients stricken with these diseases so that having HIV/AIDS does not get in the way of their rehabilitation. As soon as any physical challenges have been conquered, as is often the case with drug or alcohol addicted individuals who have not properly cared for themselves, individuals with HIV/AIDS in treatment will be able to overcome the psychological and emotional issues involved in their drug addiction. The ultimate prize will be an individual who can properly care for themselves physically and in life, and quite possibly add several years to their life.
