For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Stratford can include detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
