Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alexandria, TN.

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
