For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
Often, clients who fight 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 quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 or AIDS in Peoa would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
