For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Kalaupapa can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
