Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brookhaven, MS.

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

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Brookhaven would include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
