Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Drexel, NC.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Drexel would include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
