Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Norman, AR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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