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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle 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 treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
