Position of the American Dietetic Association: nutrition intervention in treatment and recovery from chemical dependency.

The registered dietitian is an essential member of the treatment team for assessment and rehabilitation of nutrition needs, for development of patient treatment plans, and for planning healthy life-styles. Attention to food and nutrition intake behaviors will aid the overall goal of quality sobriety and relapse prevention. Nutrition, which includes physiological and psychosocial disciplines, is involved in every aspect of recovery. It is imperative that a qualified nutrition professional be a part of each individual's recovery and foundation for relapse prevention. Many debilitating nutritional consequences result from drug and alcohol abuse. Chronic nutrition impairment causes serious damage to the liver and brain, which reinforces the craving for more drugs and alcohol and perpetuates the psychological aspect of addiction. During treatment, efforts are concentrated on the physical recovery, providing adequate nutrition to replete and heal the brain, liver, and digestive system. Nutrition makes a difference in the rate and quality of physical recovery, which prepares individuals to function at a higher level in treatment--cognitively, mentally, and socially. Improved nutritional status can make treatment more effective, while reducing drug and alcohol craving, thereby preventing relapse. Nutrition professionals should take aggressive action to ensure involvement in treatment and recovery programs. In addition, they are encouraged to participate in nutrition research activities to strengthen the knowledge base in this area.

Position of The Canadian Dietetic Association and The American Dietetic Association: nutrition intervention in the care of persons with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

The goals of nutrition intervention in HIV disease include early assessment and treatment of nutrient deficiencies, the maintenance and restoration of lean body mass, and support for activities of daily living and quality of life. The maintenance and restoration of nutritional stores is closely interrelated and interdependent with each of the other recommended medical therapies. Therefore, it is vital to the health of persons with HIV/AIDS to have access to the services of a registered dietitian, who is the essential member of the health care team for providing nutrition care (48). The registered dietitian should take an active role in developing nutrition care protocols for HIV/AIDS in their practice setting. The dietetic professional must take responsibility for obtaining and maintaining current knowledge in this area and take the lead in translating current nutrition knowledge and research into practical and realistic nutrition guidelines for the individual with HIV/AIDS. Further research is needed in the area of HIV/AIDS and nutrition. Registered dietitians and other members of the health care team are encouraged to conduct nutrition research in the area of nutrition interventions and outcomes of nutrition therapy. Additionally, government health related agencies, national AIDS-related organizations, and private industry should be encouraged to provide funding sources and support to the issue of research in nutrition related problems and interventions in HIV/AIDS.
