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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing 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 rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hockingport can include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
