Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Leona, TX.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems 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 people with HIV/AIDS in Leona would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
