For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Ames can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
