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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing 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 treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Tuskegee would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
