Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Drew, MS.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether 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 disorders.
