For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Lancaster would include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
