Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Gibsland, LA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 problems.
