Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Garfield, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
