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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. 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 individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hope can include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
