For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight 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 alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Pawtucket can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
