Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Elliottville, KY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
