Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ferris, TX.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, 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, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
