Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Alto, NM.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
