Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. George, SC.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, 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.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in St. George would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
