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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central 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 should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight 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 give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
