Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Patterson, NC.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Patterson would include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
