Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Socorro, NM.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
