Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Livingston, LA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central 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 issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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