Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Gateway, AR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Gateway can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
