Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Burbank, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
