Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Edgewater, MD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight 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 rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Edgewater can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals 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 recommended.
