Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wolf Island, MO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time 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 general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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