For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if 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.
Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Tarzana can include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons 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.
