Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Oxford, AL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Oxford can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
