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 rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Richmond can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
