For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Richmond can include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
