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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently 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 urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
