Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fort Defiance, AZ.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
