Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Catlettsburg, 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 recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Catlettsburg includes detox services which are responsibly handled 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 healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
