Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Spencer, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
