Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Harvard, ID.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether 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.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Harvard can include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
