Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Crystal River, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
