Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Linneus, MO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
