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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a 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 rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Weirton can include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
