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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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 medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hazel would include detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
