For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Ethel would include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
