Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - South Padre Island, TX.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight 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 rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, 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 show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
