Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Marathon, FL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Marathon would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
