Persons in Westcliffe with HIV/AIDS might find themselves in need of substance abuse rehabilitation. It is important that the drug rehabilitation center of choice is one which recognizes the challenges involved in treating clients affected by these diseases so that having HIV/AIDS is not a barrier to their rehabilitation. Once any physical obstacles have been overcome, as is common with drug or alcohol addicted persons who have not properly cared for themselves, clients with HIV/AIDS in rehab will be able to overcome the mental and emotional issues concerning their drug addiction. The ultimate prize will be someone who can take care of themselves physically and in life, and possibly add quite a few years to their lives.
