Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tennessee Colony, TX.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Tennessee Colony would include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
