Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Old Town, FL.

For persons 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
