For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in East Wareham can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
