For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Auburn includes detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
