Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Columbus, TX.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
