For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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 problems.
Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Sunnyside includes detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
