For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see 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 treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Stewartville includes detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
