Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cedar Crest, NM.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Cedar Crest can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
