For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Sterling can include detox treatment that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
