Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Banner, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
