Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Benson, MD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
