For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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 disorders.
Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Rock Island includes detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
