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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
