Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Oark, AR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Oark would include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
