Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Belfast, TN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Belfast would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
