Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Jefferson, NC.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Jefferson can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
