Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Palmer, MA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
