For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether 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 disorders.
Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Funk can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
