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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may 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. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Elkton would include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
