Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Havana, AR.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Havana can include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
