For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Eden can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
