Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shawnee, OH.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Shawnee includes detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
