For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Clio includes detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
