Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Anthony, NM.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Anthony would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
