For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and 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 spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Flint can include detox treatment that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
