Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ryland Heights, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
