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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Lonsdale can include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
