Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Cowarts, AL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment 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 should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
