Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Richfield, UT.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Richfield includes detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
