For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial 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 or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may 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. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have 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.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Utica includes detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind.
