Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Union, SC.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses 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.
