For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Medford can include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
