Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Russell, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
