Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cleveland, WV.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Cleveland includes detoxification services that 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 motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
