Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cornelia, GA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing 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 recovery 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 or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Cornelia would include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
