Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lafayette, GA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
