Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Smiths Station, AL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol 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 transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment.

This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
