For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Wyalusing would include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
