Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Chaptico, MD.

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Chaptico includes detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
