Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Baxter, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Baxter includes detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
