Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Dubberly, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate 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 therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Dubberly can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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.
