Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Starr, SC.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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