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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
