For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Dorchester can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
