Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Brookfield, MO.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
