Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Calico Rock, AR.

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
