Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Masonic Home, KY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Masonic Home can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
