Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Athens, TX.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative 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, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
