Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Elfers, FL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential 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 problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have 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 disorders.
