For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Waskom would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind.
