Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Panama City Beach, FL.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Panama City Beach can include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
