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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
