Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Helena, 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 acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment 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 if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if 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.
