For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in West Haven includes detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
