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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Shelby would include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
