Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Old Washington, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, 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 or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
