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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Nottingham can include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people 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.
