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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine 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.
