For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Oneida can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
