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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
