Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Vilas, NC.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and 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 are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 problems.
