For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Pensacola would include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
