Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lake Arthur, LA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give 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 help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
