Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Counselor, NM.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Counselor includes detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
