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

For persons with HIV/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 treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Gallup includes detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
