Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Anna Maria, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
