Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Preston, MO.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Preston includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
