Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cross City, FL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Cross City can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
