Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Brandywine, MD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
