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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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