Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greers Ferry, AR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether 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 disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Greers Ferry includes detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
