Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Newton Highlands, MA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
