Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chester, MD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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