Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fort Stewart, GA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
