Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Garland City, AR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Garland City can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
