Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lincoln, MO.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
