Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Glenn Dale, MD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Glenn Dale includes detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
