Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ephesus, GA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Ephesus can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
