Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sanibel, FL.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Sanibel would include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
