Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Axtell, KS.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
