For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Fort Myers includes detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
