Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Matthews, SC.

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 acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in St. Matthews can include detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
