Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Yerkes, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
