For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Chinook would 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.
