Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Big Sandy, TN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Big Sandy can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client 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 self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
