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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Sullivan can include detox treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
