Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Helens, KY.

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

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. 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 medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
