Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - West Portsmouth, OH.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time 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 therefore need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in West Portsmouth would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
