Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Marathon Shores, FL.

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

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if 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.
