Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cohutta, GA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Cohutta includes detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
