Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Grand Rapids, OH.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery 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 in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
