Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Point Of Rocks, MD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
