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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Ivel would include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
