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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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