For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Pueblo would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
