Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Whites Creek, TN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Whites Creek can include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
