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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Island City includes detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
