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 adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Leitchfield includes detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
