Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Branch, AR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Branch includes detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
