Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Marshfield, MO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
