Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Alton, NH.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Alton can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
