Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bristol, TN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment 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 disorders.

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