Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dickinson, AL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
