Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Swartz, LA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Swartz can include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind.
