Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Calhoun, LA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative 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, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Calhoun would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
