Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Palm Beach, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have 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 problems.
