Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bell Buckle, TN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have 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 disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Bell Buckle includes detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
