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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
