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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Palmetto would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
