Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Beach, MD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
