Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dunlap, TN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
