Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Peninsula, OH.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Peninsula can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
