Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Greenwood, FL.

For persons 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 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 are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if 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 disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Greenwood can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
