Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Alexandria, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of 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 need critical medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Alexandria would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment 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 self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
