For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Sierra Vista can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
