Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Joseph, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
