For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Scranton would include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment 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 persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
