For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Winnebago can include detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
