Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Belcher, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Belcher can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
