Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Albany, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle 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 and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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 recommended.
