Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Madden, MS.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart 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, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Madden can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
