Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Five Points, AL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Five Points can include detox treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
