Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Dover, KY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Dover can include detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
