For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems 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 disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Maumelle can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
