Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Elko, SC.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have 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.
