Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Melvin, AL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing 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 central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Melvin can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
