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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle 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 addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if 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 disorders.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
