For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in York would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
