Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Simmesport, LA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment 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 spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
