Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sturgis, MS.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. 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/AIDS in Sturgis would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
