Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Blowing Rock, NC.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.
