Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Columbia, AL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Columbia would include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
