For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
Often, people who fight 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 show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Johnstown includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
