Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Eunice, LA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing 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 and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses 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.
