Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gordon, KY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may 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 quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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