Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Makawao, HI.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Makawao can include detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
