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

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

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Gurley would include detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people 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 recommended.
