Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Thomas, WV.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Thomas can include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
