Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Marion, KS.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Marion would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind.
