Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cerulean, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping 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 issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Cerulean would include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
