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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
