For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial 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.
Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Chesapeake includes detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
