Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hot Springs, NC.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
