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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Compton includes detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the 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 individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
