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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Maplewood can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
