Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lanham, MD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Lanham includes detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
