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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
