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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
