Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Shorter, AL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
