Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Treasure Island, FL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Treasure Island includes detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment 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 strongly encouraged.
