Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Smith Center, KS.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Smith Center includes detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
