Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Knob Noster, MO.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
