Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ducktown, TN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Ducktown can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
