Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Brooks, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
