Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Zuni, NM.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
