Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - West Hyattsville, MD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in West Hyattsville can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
