Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Castalia, OH.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Castalia would include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
