Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Rising Star, TX.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Rising Star can include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
