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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, 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 problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Cushman includes detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
