Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Harrodsburg, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
