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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Longstreet would include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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.
