Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Darrow, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing 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 problems.
