Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pasadena, MD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Pasadena would include detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
