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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have 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 rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Jackson can include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
