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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing 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.
