Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Waverly, GA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Waverly can include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
