Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Amistad, NM.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Amistad would include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
