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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
