Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Evansport, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate 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 may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
