HIV and Confidentiality
HIV and Confidentiality
Almost all States now have laws protecting information about individuals’ HIV status. The laws vary widely in the strength of the protection they offer. All allow for disclosure of HIV related information in certain circumstances. Administrators should educate themselves about the HIV confidentiality protections offered by their individual States.
Discrimination Against LGBT Individuals
In much of the United States, discrimination against individuals because of their sexual orientation is legal. Although some States have extended their laws against racial and gender discrimination to cover discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, in most places LGBT individuals can be denied employment or fired, barred from housing, and excluded from health and social services.
LGBT individuals are disadvantaged legally in other areas as well. In most States, same-sex couples in a committed relationship are prohibited from marrying. This means that same-sex partners must make special arrangements if they wish to bequeath their assets to each other after death. Few jurisdictions provide unmarried partners of employees the health insurance benefits married partners take for granted; even fewer require private employers to offer unmarried partners these benefits.

At Skywood, we are deeply invested in helping you regain your health. Our programming approach to recovery is designed with that in mind, from individual and group therapy to adventure therapy, art therapy and yoga. Each of these activities builds on the others to get to the root causes of addiction, introduce healthy new habits, address any co-occurring mental health issues and provide the mental and physical space you need in order to heal. We also provide access to regular 12-Step meetings and peer support groups. What we do at Skywood is different for several reasons. First, we treat addiction and mental health at the same time in a highly integrated way, looking to restore a person’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Second, we focus on resolving trauma, underlying issues and deep-rooted emotional pain that often causes substance abuse in the first place. Lastly, we emphasize life skills that help each person build a foundation for sustainable, long-term recovery.
Addiction is a disease that no one should have to deal with alone. It is imperative that citizens of a city or county have access to top quality addiction treatment services. People from all walks of life can be susceptible to developing a substance use disorder in response to trauma they have endured, or lifestyle circumstances begetting maladaptive coping mechanisms.When a person is in the grips of addiction, they can become isolated and unable to see their condition for what it is—an illness that can be managed.Whether you are in Nashville or in the greater Nashville area such as Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, etc, at Southeast Addiction, our outpatient addiction treatment programs offer something for individuals of all levels of commitment.
Choosing the right treatment center can be paramount in one’s chance at recovery. While the treatment facility creates a foundation of tools needed for recovery, it is truly the individual, and not the addiction treatment center that determines the end result. When it comes to yourself or a loved one, you are going to want to make sure to choose a facility that has professional accreditations. Located in the Atlanta, Georgia area, Southeast Addiction Center ensures each client receives the tools needed to live a life without addictive substances.From individual therapy to group therapy, to trauma-based therapy and 12-step support, our clients learn how to find their own strength as well as create a support system around them. The transition from addiction to sobriety can be hard, however, at our drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, we guide each client through the process – step by step.
