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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Hancock would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
