Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Knifley, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
