Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Scottsdale, AZ.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Scottsdale can include detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
