For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Hico can include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
