Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Forest Hill, LA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, 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.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Forest Hill would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
