Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Washington, NC.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show 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 serious medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
