Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Scranton, AR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Scranton can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
