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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
