For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. 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 are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Morton can include detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
