For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Statesville would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
