Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Fruitland Park, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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