Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Burnside, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Burnside would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
