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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Lovely can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
