Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Garrett, 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems 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.
