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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
