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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Tyrone can include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
