Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Dumas, MS.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Dumas would include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
