Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Athens, LA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see 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 disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Athens includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
