Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mentone, AL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
