Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alexandria, NE.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Alexandria includes detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
