For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Wilkesville can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
