Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Williamsburg, KY.

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

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
