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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
