Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Nemaha, NE.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Nemaha can include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
