For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial 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 drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Huntington Beach includes detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
