Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Essex, MO.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential 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 substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Essex can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
