Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Elkhorn, NE.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions 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 help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation.

This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
