Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Benedict, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
