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

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

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Hulen can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
