For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have 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 disorders.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Medicine Lodge can include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
