Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Edgewood, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart 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 serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
