Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Athens, TN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
