For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Blackwood would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
