Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Olympia, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential 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 issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
