Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Helena, MO.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation 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 problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
