Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Auburn, MA.

Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
