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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping 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 issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Myrtlewood can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
