Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Auburn, KS.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Auburn includes detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
