Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Luke, MD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Luke includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
