Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Homer, GA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing 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.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Homer can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
