For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Nora includes detox treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
