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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems 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.
