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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in St. Stephens includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
