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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
