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

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in San Mateo can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
