For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently 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. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Petersburg would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
