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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Lafayette would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
