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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health 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 therefore need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
