For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. 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 treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hobbs can include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
