Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pinewood, SC.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse 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 show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
