Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ponderosa, NM.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if 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.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
