Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Charleston, AR.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether 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.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Charleston would include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab 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 individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
