For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine 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 disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in North Haven would include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
