For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Hilo can include detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
