Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - La Fayette, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle 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 rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in La Fayette can include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
