Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Galena, MD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Galena can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind.
