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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
