Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Evangeline, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
