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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Pinson would include detoxification services 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 become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
