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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Zachary can include detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
