Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Richmond, UT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Richmond can include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
