Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Belen, NM.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
