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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
