Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Gulf Shores, AL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to 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 safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Gulf Shores includes detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
