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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing 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.
