Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Whiteside, MO.

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

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
