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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping 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 if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Varnado would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
