Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Norris, TN.

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

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
