For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Benton would include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
