Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Okahumpka, FL.

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

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full 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.
