Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Funkstown, MD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Funkstown would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
