Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Atlanta, IL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems 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 disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Atlanta can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
