Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Camdenton, MO.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart 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 therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
