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

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

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
