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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which 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 screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
