Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Scott City, KS.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, 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 are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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