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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Smackover can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
