Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Phenix City, 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 adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Phenix City can include detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab 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 self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
