Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Francis, AR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
