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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems 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 disorders.
