For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether 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.
Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Huntsville can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
