Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Whitney, NE.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have 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 Whitney includes detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
