Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Merriman, NE.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
