Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Switchback, WV.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
