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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses 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.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Shelby would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
