Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Adger, AL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery 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, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine 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 problems.
