For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Everett would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
