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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health 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, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
