Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Forest Hill, MD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see 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 rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Forest Hill can include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
