For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently 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 may urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Westminster includes detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
