Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Echo, UT.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may 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. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
