For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have 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.
Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Winchester can include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client 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 recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
