For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Pasadena would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
