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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
