For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Pray can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
