For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in South Williamson would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
