Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Port Barre, LA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
