Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Old Fort, NC.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
