Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Tellico Plains, TN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
