For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general 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 fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Austin can include detox treatment that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
