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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
