Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Tanner, AL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Tanner would include detox services which are responsibly administered 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 individuals have the same goal is recommended.
