Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - East Point, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people 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 screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
