For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Juneau would include detoxification treatment that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
