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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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