Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Scottsville, KY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
