Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Donaldson, AR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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