For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Norwalk would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
