Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Brentwood, MO.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Brentwood can include detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
