Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Andalusia, AL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
