For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle 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 substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Middletown would include detox treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
