Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wellsburg, WV.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have 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 problems.

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