Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lena, MS.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
