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

For people 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in St. Johns includes detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
