Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Merrillan, WI.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Merrillan can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
