For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.
Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Lebanon can include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
