Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cheshire, MA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Cheshire can include detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
