Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Elmer, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if 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 disorders.
