Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Brooklyn Park, MD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Brooklyn Park can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
