For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized 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 are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Medford would include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
