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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Hodge would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
