Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Stanford, KY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Stanford would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
