For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight 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 substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Cody can include detox treatment 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 recommended.
