Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bedford, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
