Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Leonville, LA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Leonville can include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
