Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Francisville, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
