Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sunland Park, NM.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Sunland Park includes detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
