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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
