Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Malabar, FL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Malabar can include detox treatment which are safely administered 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 strongly encouraged.
