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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment 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.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Equality can include detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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.
