Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lafayette, TN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
