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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative 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 in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
