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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Perry Hall includes detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
