Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lakeland, FL.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility 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 diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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