For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart 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, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Homestead can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
