Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mercer, TN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab.
