Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lanark, WV.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Lanark can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
