Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greenwich, OH.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Greenwich would include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment 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 persons have the same goal is encouraged.
