Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Horse Branch, KY.

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

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems 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 problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
