Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Chapel Hill, TN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Chapel Hill would include detoxification services which are safely administered 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 persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
