Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Glenwood, GA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline 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, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Glenwood can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
