For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in New London includes detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
