For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Rifle can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
