Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Union Star, KY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation 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 problems.
