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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently 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. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems 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.
