Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lockhart, SC.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
