For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Ozark can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
