Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Townsend, WI.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine 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 problems.
