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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time 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 may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Dorset includes detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
