Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Buckner, MO.

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 adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Buckner would include detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the 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 self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
