Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Brighton, MO.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
