Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dobbin, TX.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
