Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Alexandria, OH.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Alexandria can include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
