Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Elmo, AL.

For people 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 rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
