Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Independence, WV.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
