Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Jefferson City, TN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Jefferson City would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
