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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment 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 should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
