Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Farrell, MS.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Farrell can include detoxification services that are safely handled 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 recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
