For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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 stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Cranberry Township can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
