For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing 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 persons with HIV/AIDS in Edgewood includes detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
