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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses 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.
