For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Rufe would include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
