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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
