Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Shellman, GA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have 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 problems.
