Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Benton Ridge, OH.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Benton Ridge includes detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
