For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Opelika includes detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
