For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Eden would include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
