Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Little Rock, AR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
