Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Childs, MD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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