Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - UNA, SC.

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in UNA would include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
