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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab 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 should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
