Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Alexander City, AL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential 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.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. 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 or AIDS in Alexander City includes detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
