Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Baskett, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
