Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Highlands, TX.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of 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 may need significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
