Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Boaz, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine 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 problems.
