Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mockingbird Valley, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
