Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Shelton, NE.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
