Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lansing, WV.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses 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.
