Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Gilbertsville, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing 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 disorders.
