Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Laurens, SC.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
