Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Watson, MO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 problems.
