Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Addison, AL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
