Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Feeding Hills, MA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
