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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
