Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hartford, AR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hartford can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab 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 people have the same sober goal is recommended.
