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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Gregory can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
