Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mid Florida, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 problems.
