Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Woodruff, WI.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
