Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Oakland, TN.

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

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
