For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. 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 are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Richmond can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
