Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Covington, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle 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 drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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.
