For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight 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 rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals 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 screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Hopkins includes detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
