Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - West Memphis, AR.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in West Memphis can include detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
