Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lake Harbor, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam 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.
