Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Alton, MO.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Alton can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
