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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Drasco can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
