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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Homer can include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
