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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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.
