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 addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. 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 spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Charleston includes detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
