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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.
