For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Matawan can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
