Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lake Panasoffkee, FL.

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 simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, 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.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
