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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
