For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse 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 due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in East Hartford would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
