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

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

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Lynn would include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
