Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Waverly, FL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Waverly would include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
