Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cannel City, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central 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.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Cannel City includes detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
