Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Penney Farms, FL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery 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 should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline 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 require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems 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.
