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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Hazel Green can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient 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 encouraged.
