Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cowan, TN.

For persons with HIV or 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 treatment 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 public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
