Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Alma, AR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Alma includes detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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.
