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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential 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.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment 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 disorders.
