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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery 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 substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time 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. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Norristown can include detox services that are responsibly handled 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 self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
