Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Richmond Hill, GA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons 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 checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
