Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Albany, TX.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, 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 or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
