For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Rexburg would include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
