For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and 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 if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Dunbar can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client 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 recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
