Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Colbert, GA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have 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 rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Colbert can include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
