Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hardin, KY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Hardin can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
