Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Jefferson, AL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. 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 transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
