Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Effingham, SC.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
