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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
