For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Radford includes detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
