Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Leo, FL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
