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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems 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 problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Elephant Butte would include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
