Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cleveland, NM.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
