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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Rusk includes detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind.
