Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Happy Jack, AZ.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues 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. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine 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.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Happy Jack would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
