For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central 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 issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems 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 individuals with HIV/AIDS in Kealakekua would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
