Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Key West, FL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
