Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ellis, KS.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
