For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Providence can include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment 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 individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
